Located at the Delaware Beaches, we are a 501c3 animal rescue founded in 2008. Visit our website at www.pawsoftomorrow.dog

Paws of Tomorrow is a 501c3 non-profit group of volunteer dog lovers whose mission is to rescue, provide sanctuary, and ultimately to re-home abandoned, stray and neglected animals. We spend countless hours working with high kill shelters to pull urgent dogs. We thrive on helping castaway dogs and dedicate our time and knowledge to finding homes for these animals that deserve a better life. Whenever possible we also assist in finding homes for animals that, because of extenuating circumstances, are unable to remain in their homes with their owners. Paws of Tomorrow is primarily located in the Ocean View, Delaware area. But we do offer transport of our pets to most areas of the east coast. We offer vetting for seriously injured dogs that would otherwise not receive a second chance at life because of the circumstances in shelters. We try to foster as many Paws dogs as we can and provide them with an enormous amount of love and any medical attention that may be required to insure that they are in good health before adoption. They are spayed or neutered and brought up-to-date on shots. When time permits, our dogs are also house trained and taught basic obedience. All Paws pets that are taken into foster care are also evaluated for temperament and personality. This helps us to place them in homes that are well suited to their needs and to the needs of their future owners. If you are looking for a specific type of dog and do not see it on our website, please email us. We work closely with other rescue groups and animal shelters and may be able to assist you in finding your next furry friend. None of this could be done without local support. We thank each person that has helped to save a life by assisting us in our efforts.

Paws of Tomorrow animal rescue is based out of Fenwick Island, DE. We are not a shelter, we are an animal rescue that works with shelters to save dogs on death row, as well as injured and abandoned animals. All individuals that work with our rescue are volunteers and do this solely to help these animals find homes. We take pride in knowing that we are not only helping these animals but also helping you find the perfect pet for your home.

We are a 501c3 federally recognized non-profit animal rescue, which means that all donations are fully tax deductible. We accept donations to cover the cost of rescuing and caring for dogs that would otherwise not have a second chance at life. We can only pull dogs if we have the funding to do so. With your help we can help more dogs than ever expected. Together we can save one life at a time.
Most people are unaware of what "really" goes on in shelters across America. Our goal is to raise this awareness. Many shelters are high kill shelters, mostly due to lack of financing, lack of volunteers, and lack of space. Many of these shelters are gassing shelters. This means that the animals are placed in a gas chamber to be euthanized. This caused these animals extreme pain. You can read more about this on our “Gas Chamber” web page.

If you wish to foster a dog, please fill out our foster application on our application page. We will then contact you to discuss which dog will be right for your home. We see so many dogs each week that are in urgent need of foster homes. You can request to foster a specific dog that shows as "needs foster" on our site or we will help choose one that fits your home the best. You can specify the size, color, breed, etc that you prefer and we will discuss what may be best fitting for your home. We cover all vetting fees for our fostered animals. If you are interested in fostering a dog, please read our foster information page. That information will answer many questions you may have. You may also email our foster team leader: cindy@pawsoftomorrow.dog

In order to adopt one of our amazing dogs, an adoption application is required. Please see our adoption page to learn more information on our adoption process. You will not be considered until an application is received by us. Once we receive your application we will contact you to do a phone interview. At that time we can answer any questions you may have. Please look at the specific dog you are interested in for the adoption fee. The fees vary by the vetting required, transport, age, and shelter fees for each pet. These fees are non-negotiable. This is an "Adoption Fee" and is solely for the adoption of that pet. We try to fully vet each dog but this is not guaranteed by paying the adoption fee. Please contact our adoption coordinator with any other questions: megan@pawsoftomorrow.dog

Paws of Tomorrow will adopt our loving pets to any area in the United States. We can help to provide transport of your new family member however please be aware that transport may require an extra charge. Please contact us for details. We require an application to be submitted prior to meeting one of our pets. We want to know a little about you before sending you to our volunteer’s home.
Adopting is a huge responsibility and we need to know this will be a lifelong commitment to the animal. Paws of Tomorrow, Inc. will only consider adoption to FOREVER homes. It is also mandatory that if for any reason you cannot keep the pet at anytime, the animal must be returned to our rescue. If we find that you have not honored this, legal charges will be filed. The application/contract you sign explains all of this also. We do not tolerate any of our dogs going back to a shelter. We do not rescue them from high kill shelters for them to end up back where they started. We take this oath seriously and expect all our adopters to do the same. Adopting should be a lifelong commitment and rewarding experience!

If you are interested in joining our team, please fill out a volunteer application. We have many positions that need to be filled within our group, as well as other ways for volunteers to assist us. We welcome anyone who has a passion for helping animals.
